This is a little town park, with a small beach and swim area. Â The water is crystal clear, but the swimming area is quite small. Â It would probably be more fun for kids than adults. Â There was a trailer marked “Sheriff” alongside the beach, though we aren’t sure if this is the actual police station. […]
This is a fancier town park than most, with updated and well maintained facilities. Â There is a large swim area and a medium sized beach. Â The beach is fenced off from the rest of the park, and you have to pay a fee to swim. Â Dogs are allowed in park, but not the swimming area. […]
This is an unofficial swimming hole within Canawaugus Park. This is a pretty little town park, directly beside the water treatment building in Scottsville. Â This is a popular place with locals, and we saw children playing in the shallows upstream, and jumping off the bridge-but you have to know where to jump. Â There are stairs […]

There is a long but narrow beach with a mix of sand and stone, blue water, and a small swimming area. Â There is a pavilion, and a large grass lawn you could picnic on. Â Away from the lifeguard area there is more coast line that is still part of the park, and people were wading […]
This is a massive park, with a popular beach. Â The park is clean and very well maintained, and has a carousel, playground, concessions, picnic areas and pavilions. Â It sort of reminded us of Disney World, and this would be a great place for families. Â The beach is enormous, with very large swim areas, and multiple […]
This is a really strange little beach. Â The park is enclosed by the ruins of an old hotel, and the swimming beach is a small roped area in between two concrete piers. Â There was sort of a boardwalk with shops next door, but it was all shuttered during our visit. When we were there the […]
